Description:

"Image Fuse" is a free imagehosting / gallery service where people can upload images, hotlink them for ebay auctions, myspace, and so forth. The web site supplies 250mb of images file storage space and 5gb of file transfer bandwidth per month for registered members, and also has anon uploading for people that do not want to register. With the anonymous upload feature, the uploaded pictures can be up to 10 MB each and be one of these filetypes: jpeg, jpg, gif, png (bmp bitmap files are supported for registered users). Thumbnail pics are generated automatically, and you are given several linking formats to choose from. The web-based uploading form lets you upload files directly from your computer or from a URL (an image hosted on another website). The uploaded images of unregistered visitors are automatically deleted from their webserver after 15 days period of inactivity (not viewing the image) is reached or the 100mb bandwidth limit is exceeded (registered users do not have those limits). Registered users have more capabilities such as the ability to create image galleries, and the free imagehost will never automatically delete your file uploads. With the free photo galleries, you allow others to view your personal uploads, rate the pictures, or even add comments about them. The imagehosting service can be used for personal use, such as E-Bay auctions, blogs, personal sites, or message boards, and directly linking images is permitted. ImageFuse.com claims to have 99.9% uptime for hosted images that are kept on fast, reliable, and optimized servers. There is an IPB support forum (Invision Power Board).

I used to love the place; the free picture hosting service was great, but the problem is IT IS NOT WORKING RIGHT NOW! They have closed their service, and their homepage no longer even loads.

It works fast on school computers, where images usually load very slow. Uploading was easy, and the anonymous uploading feature was very handy while in class.

I would recommend ImageFuse. I have been using it for about two weeks now, and it has never been slow or down. Uploading and downloading from ImageFuse is very fast, faster than most I have been on. There are no annoying popups either. The stats on the server seems very powerful as well. I had no problem registering, and the imagelinking code worked fine for me. According to their home page, their dedicated webserver looks pretty good: AMD Opteron 175 (Dual Core) with 4 GB RAM and 500 GB diskspace, 100mbit connection capacity, and RAID 10 data protection.

Downsides: It does not have a lot of advanced features, and the photo gallery seems like it needs some work, but according to the forums, they are working on newer stuff to make it better.

From what I have seen of it, Imagefuse seems like a very reliable host. However, it seems to have a few issues with signing up -- the registering page keeps coming up with the error of an invalid confirmation code; it grows a little irritating after more than 20 attempts and filling in everything else correctly. Maybe the image verification captcha is too long, especially considering it has numbers and letters mixed, so that is hard to tell what some of them are.
